How Acquire works
Buy and sell whole Roblox games, Roblox groups and other projects, with ownership checked and the money held until the transfer is done.
Acquire is where you buy and sell whole games: Roblox experiences, Roblox groups (with their games, UGC items and clothing), and games or projects on other platforms such as Unity, Unreal, Godot, Minecraft and Discord bots. Every sale is a full buyout: afterwards the buyer owns all of it and the seller keeps nothing.
The short version is on How Acquire works. These pages go into the detail.
The steps of a deal
- The seller lists it. For Roblox, DevNet checks on Roblox that the seller's linked account made the game or owns the group. See Sell a game.
- The buyer buys at the listed price or makes an offer, and the seller accepts. See Buy a game.
- The buyer pays through Stripe Checkout. The money is held by DevNet, not sent to the seller.
- The seller transfers it. For Roblox, DevNet watches Roblox every minute and ticks each step off by itself. For other platforms the buyer confirms they got everything.
- The protection window. Once Roblox shows the buyer owns it, DevNet holds the money for another 48 hours so the buyer can report a problem.
- The seller is paid, minus the 5% fee, to their Stripe account.
If the seller never transfers it, the buyer is refunded. If anything goes wrong, either side can ask DevNet to step in. See Refunds and disputes.
Fees
- Sellers pay 5% of the sale price, taken from the payout. At $2,000 you receive $1,900.
- Buyers pay the agreed price and nothing more.
- Listing is free. You can have up to 10 live listings.

What DevNet checks, and what it doesn't
DevNet checks who owns the game or group on Roblox, before the listing goes live, again before a deal opens, and during the transfer. It doesn't check the rights to the art, music or code inside, so ask the seller about anything you're unsure of before you buy.
Never pay or get paid outside DevNet. DevNet can only protect money it holds, so report anyone who asks you to.
